Hynix Semiconductor said it has received the first Intel validation for 512 Megabyte DDR400 components and 512 Megabyte DDR400-based modules.

The 512 Megabyte DDR400 Intel validation follows its 256 Megabyte DDR400 Intel validation in February and further demonstrates Hynix's advanced process technology and leadership position in the high-speed DDR memory market, the company stated.

Hynix projects a continued surge in demand for DDR400 memory products throughout this year as the PC industry quickly adopts Intel's Springdale and Canterwood chipsets supporting the DDR400 architecture.

According to Farhad Tabrizi, the vice president of worldwide marketing, Hynix expects DDR400 to represent more than 35 percent of the overall DDR market by the end of 2003 and Hynix is taking additional steps to expand its production capacity of DDR400 components to 90 percent from its initial target of 60 percent by year-end.

Currently, DDR products account for more than 80 percent of the company's total DRAM production.

Hynix said it is making efforts to develop value-added high-performance DDR products, which include DDR400, DDR2 and GDDR2/3, and maintaining a leading position in the next-generation memory market through its advanced process technology and cost-competitiveness
